\n<\/strong>Biomechanical Characterization of Nanostructured, Protein-Based Materials<\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract:
\n<\/span><\/strong>The extracellular matrix is a complex nanofiber scaffold that surrounds cells in the body and provides the primary mechanical structure of all tissues and organs. <\/span>We have developed a unique method to regenerate this extracellular matrix, providing new opportunities for creating advanced polymeric materials and tissue engineering scaffolds. <\/span>Students will learn how to fabricate these materials and characterize the biomechanical functionality using optical, scanning electron and\/or atomic force microscopy. <\/span>Ambitious students will have the opportunity to evaluate cell response to these materials and tissue engineer skeletal muscle constructs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
